When lockouts actually happen
Keys get left inside during the morning rush, locks fail in the cold, and cars get locked with keys inside at the end of a long shift. A locksmith who only works office hours leaves you waiting until the next day or forcing a door, which costs more in the end.
What 'available every day' should mean
It should mean a phone that is answered and an honest answer about when someone can come. It should not mean a promised arrival time that nobody can control. Vancouver Locksmith Store takes calls every day of the week at all hours and tells you the current availability when you call.
Questions to ask before you book
- What is the total price for a standard lockout, including the service call?
- Will the technician show ID and a marked vehicle?
- Is the business local, with a real Vancouver dispatch point?
- What happens if the lock has to be drilled?
Avoiding lockouts in the first place
- Leave a spare key with a neighbour or in a lockbox, not under a mat.
- Fit a keypad deadbolt so there is nothing to forget.
- Replace worn keys before they break off in the lock.
